Sunline Sail by Milieu

The first of two (or maybe three) singles from the forthcoming SUN CAST album - a new Milieu record that has been in progress for the better part of eight years. Weathering hard drive crashes, studio changes, relocation and the birth of my daughter in that span of time, the material presented on Sun Cast is very much what one might call "classic Milieu" in that it returns to the subtropical Summer melodies, chopped break rhythmic nod, warm tanned basslines and a melancholic wistfulness that you can't quite put your finger on. A special record that will hopefully delight fans of albums like New Drugs and Swaying Palms, as well as Halifaxian works such as Ocean Lion and Pink Acre.

SUNLINE SAIL is a bouncy electronic pop bottle, eager for the Summertime months while being all too aware that they will be over faster than you'd like. Backed by two b-sides, "Penelope Envelope" being an outtake from the Sun Cast sessions and "Briam", which previously appeared on the 3067 Megs charity compilation, here's to twenty minutes of blissful Summer escapism, built to last until it's time to go back to school.
